Goodbye To Apple iCards? Say ‘Ugh’ To Postcard
Apple’s transition from .Mac, a melange of sporadic services, to MobileMe begot a few casualties. My often used iCards bit the dust, bought the farm, took a walk in cement overshoes.
iCards was a good way to see free email post cards to friends and loved ones. It was easy. It was free. It’s gone forever. Or is it. Despite PostCard’s best efforts, iCards is missed.
Once every couple of weeks I would click over to iCards in Safari, grab a cute or appropriate post card, add a cute line or two, and click to send it to.... (excerpted).

I loved iCards. I miss it. PostCard is no iCards. I knew iCards, PostCard, and you’re no iCards.
I just haven’t found an acceptable substitute. Yet.

I also thought the postcard function was neat. I guess they think that the stationary feature of Mail is the replacement…

Yes, ending iCards added insult to injury during the rough switch to MobileMe. Come on, iCards was a pretty simple webjects application that was mature and worked well. Where is that code? Somebody needs to rescue it and put it back into service.
Not close, but has all the potential is Equinux’s Stationary Pack 2.

It says it has postcards, but they are all huge full page monstrosities, so if this company learns what the size of a postcard actually is, they have a shot.
Otherwise, Apple needs to step up and include a postcard template in the next release of Apple Mail.
